Chapter 0439: Huge Profit

Chapter 0439: Huge Profit

Number eighty was drawn yesterday, and today it was number eighty again, so many people were skeptical.

However, when they saw Zi Qingcheng, Shui Tianzi, and Hong Mengshu all following with a bet of five hundred thousand purple crystal coins, their skepticism faded, and they eagerly joined in by betting on number eighty.

Although Qin Yun didn’t say anything, Zi Qingcheng and the others guessed that this round might be intentionally lost.

Otherwise, the Qiweng Palace would definitely not be able to continue, and they wouldn’t be able to keep profiting either.

After an hour, the total bets in the first round reached three hundred million purple crystal coins!

"Next, we reveal the results!" The middle-aged man with the mustache, nervously, opened all the lids.

The bird emerged from the ninety-fifth jar!

Seeing this result, the middle-aged man with the mustache, who had been wearing a bitter expression, suddenly beamed with joy, his face lighting up: "It’s number ninety-five!"

Many people at the scene were heartbroken, wailing in disappointment!

The square was filled with curses.

After sensing the murderous aura from Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, the crowd quieted down, only cursing in their hearts.

"The second round is about to begin!" The middle-aged man with the mustache felt more at ease now because Qin Yun wasn’t always accurate.

Once it began, Qin Yun saw the bird in the seventy-third jar.

"I’ll bet on number ninety, one million purple crystal coins!" Qin Yun intentionally threw this round.

Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi also knew that Qin Yun was intentionally losing, so they feigned hesitation, then reluctantly followed with a bet of one million purple crystal coins.

Hong Mengshu also thought it over for half an hour before betting one million purple crystal coins.

In this second round, fewer people joined in, but the total bets still exceeded one hundred million, indicating many were willing to gamble one more time!

Soon, the results of the second round were revealed, and many people burst into wails of despair.

"Completely duped by that idiot!"

"I’ve wagered all my savings!"

"You really can’t trust a fool!"

Many people bemoaned their bad luck, but they could only accept their misfortune.

In the following third and fourth rounds, Qin Yun kept betting one million purple crystal coins!

Only Zi Qingcheng and her companions joined in.

They had won so much yesterday that as long as they didn’t make big bets, they wouldn’t lose much.

The fifth round!

"I’ll bet on number eight, ten million purple crystal coins!" Qin Yun shouted loudly.

Ten million!

The crowd erupted in excitement instantly. After waiting all day, they finally saw a massive bet!

However, having lost four rounds in a row, no one dared to follow this time.

Even Zi Qingcheng and the other women hesitated, not acting immediately.

They all knew this round would be a win but played along with Qin Yun to avoid suspicion.

"He’s got deep pockets! Even if he loses now, it’s nothing!"

"We’re betting the farm here!"

"Ugh, we were just too greedy!"

"That idiot’s a real jerk—he’s screwed us over!"

As the hour was winding down, Zi Qingcheng also bought number eight for ten million purple crystal coins!

Hong Mengshu and Shui Tianzi followed suit, each betting ten million!

These were huge bets, but given their wins yesterday, people figured it was worth the risk.

The Qiweng Palace, though, wasn’t sweating it—they were sure Qin Yun was just winging it.

The mustached man walked over, grinning as he opened all the vat lids. When the bird flew out of the eighth vat, his grin vanished.

The big losers earlier were seething, cursing under their breath. Many at the scene couldn’t hold back their curses!

The crowd, though, was blown away!

The idiot had hit the jackpot again, and this time it was huge!

Qin Yun, Zi Qingcheng, and the other two women each bet ten million, netting them a hundred million apiece!

That’s a cool four hundred million!

The Qiweng Palace had barely scraped together four hundred million today, and before they could even enjoy it, it was gone!

The crowd in the square was fuming—their lost purple crystal coins were now in Qin Yun’s pocket.

Zi Qingcheng and the others were over the moon—a hundred million purple crystal coins was no small thing! That’d keep them set for ages!

"Last round!" The mustached man’s face darkened again.

This time, Qin Yun used his Spirit Eye to pick number thirty-nine. But he went for numbers twenty-three and thirty-nine, dropping ten million on each!

He could’ve bought a hundred numbers if he wanted—buying two was no big deal.

Zi Qingcheng and the others didn’t hesitate—they followed suit.

The big spenders had been cleaned out in the last two rounds—even if they wanted to follow now, they were tapped out. And they could still lose it all!

But a few stragglers followed, chipping in a measly two million purple crystal coins.

An hour later, the mustached man was sweating bullets—if Qin Yun and the others won, they’d be out a fortune.

Qin Yun and the others bet twenty million and would earn eighty million, meaning the four of them would take home over three hundred million purple crystal coins!

The Strange Patterns Hall had initially raked in several billion in the earlier rounds, but Qin Yun and his group won it all in the fifth round, breaking even.

"Open!"

The middle-aged man with the mustache opened the lid and saw the bird fly out from the 39th jar, immediately sitting down on the ground.

The square erupted in uproar!

"Two big wins back-to-back, both hits! He bet so small earlier and didn’t win—was he setting us up?"

"This guy’s no fool! He totally played us!"

"Seems like he’s got some crazy skill to see through the jars!"

"Damn, he totally screwed us over!"

"The Strange Patterns Hall got it bad too!"

The people from the Strange Patterns Hall grudgingly coughed up several billion purple crystal coins to Qin Yun and his group.

Shui Tianzi and the crew pocketed nearly two billion today and left grinning.

...

In the inn’s lobby, Shui Tianzi was doting on Qin Yun, massaging his shoulders and legs, like an obedient servant.

Old Lady Du laughed, "Had I known, I’d have joined you and cashed in big! I’ll go tomorrow!"

Qin Yun said, "The Strange Patterns Hall isn’t a pushover, they will definitely change the game tomorrow. We should be happy with what we’ve got!"

"The max bet’s just ten million, or we could’ve gone all in and bankrupted the Strange Patterns Hall!" Zi Qingcheng pouted, "What a shame!"

Shui Tianzi, massaging Qin Yun’s shoulders, giggled, "Zi Qingcheng, let’s not get greedy! A Shuai, are you going tomorrow?"

"Let’s check it out first!" Qin Yun smiled, "I’ll let you know how to play when it’s time!"

Tonight, many people were talking about the jar guessing game.

Now everyone’s convinced Zi Qingcheng’s cousin can see through the jars and has played the Strange Patterns Hall and the gamblers like a fiddle.

Since he didn’t break any rules, the Strange Patterns Hall had no grounds to complain, as it was their own oversight.

Although the Strange Patterns Hall suffered significant losses, they did not call for a stop.

They’ve got their pride; quitting after a small loss would make them look weak.

After all, in other cities, even the Martial King has lost over a hundred million.

"A Shuai, you really screwed over a lot of people today!" the little snack whispered with a laugh.

"Who asked them to call me a fool? Besides, these guys are all gamblers, they kept mocking me, and then when they saw me winning, they followed my bets, still calling me a fool. They’re the ones I’m messing with!"

Qin Yun took a sip of the juice Shui Tianzi handed him and continued, "If we’d made the Strange Patterns Hall lose two or three billion right off the bat, the game would’ve been over! We couldn't have won two big rounds in a row either!"

Shui Tianzi cooed with a charming laugh, "A Shuai, I didn’t expect you to be so cunning! Even the Strange Patterns Hall was outsmarted by you! I wonder how they will respond tomorrow!"

"Actually, we should be content with the few times we've won!" Qin Yun finished the juice and smiled, "I’m hitting the sack, but I’ll check it out again tomorrow!"

The major forces heading to the Immortal Tomb Wilderness agreed to gather in North Spirit City, but most of those who have arrived are only from the Xuan-level sects.

Among the king-level forces, only Old Eagle was the first to arrive.

It was clear that the king-level forces and those bloodline families deliberately arrived late to show off their status, forcing the earth-level sects to wait for them for days.

After all, they are king-level forces and cannot come here early to wait for the earth-level sects, which would be beneath their dignity.

Only Old Eagle, the Martial King, didn’t mind.

...

The next day, Qin Yun got up early in the morning. Last night, he had also sent a message to Hong Mengshu, telling her to play it by ear today.

When he arrived in the hall, he saw Shui Tianzi wearing a luxurious red dress, with beautiful red hair accessories, clearly having put in a lot of effort to look her best.

Zi Qingcheng, on the other hand, was dressed simply and plainly in purple clothes, just like yesterday.

"Purple siren, the big catches from the bloodline families are here. Aren’t you going to dress up a bit?" Shui Tianzi chuckled.

"Too lazy. I’m not fishing for purple crystals anymore!" Zi Qingcheng looked at Shui Tianzi with disdain. "You really are something. My cousin clearly made you a fortune, yet you didn’t even throw him a bone and are still thinking about those big catches!"

Shui Tianzi looked at Qin Yun with resentment. "I did offer to spend the night with him, but he wasn’t willing!"

"Why would spending the night with you be considered a benefit?" Qin Yun said with disinterest. "If I sleep with you for a night, I might end up losing out!"

Shui Tianzi cooed, "You’re not short on purple crystals, and I’m not your type... So what do you want then?"

"I haven’t thought of it yet. I’ll let you know when I do!" Qin Yun smiled. "I’m heading to the Strange Patterns Hall!"

Qin Yun left quickly, heading straight to the Strange Patterns Hall after leaving the inn.

On the way, many recognized him. Although he wore a human skin mask and his appearance was not outstanding, he had an honest, goofy look that made him stand out.

At the entrance of the Strange Patterns Hall, there were still a hundred large vases.

The middle-aged man with a mustache at the Strange Patterns Hall, seeing Qin Yun arrive, smiled and said, "Ah Fool, we’ve tweaked the rules for guessing the vases! You guess and place your bet first, then the bird is placed inside the vase!"
